Christina8

I get up in the middle of the night

Sometimes in quite a fright

Haunted by the ghosts of my past

After all this time, what's the big deal?

What's wrong with the way I feel?

Luckily the feelings don't last

 

I care so much and so deeply

I know it's hard for you to see

The demons I carry inside

I wish you could see the real me

Struggling to get free

Only in you can I confide

 

I hate this feeling

It sends me reeling

But love can set me free

I have so many fears

And even more tears

You are the only one with eyes to see

          You keep getting better Christina
          The "what's wrong with the way I feel" line is the key
          After so much time
          If we try to bury stuff it is never dealt with
          Now you are writing and dealing
          It will lose its power over you
          Bravo
          Respect

            We all need someone with whom we can express our fears and this is normally the one we love.
